Making rounded mid century floating nightstands out of painted MDF and Oak hardwood
In this video we show you how we built these modern MDF nightstands with solid oak wood drawer fronts. Some might say that they are just large rounded corners floating side tables, but we feel like they fit in the mid century style. The recessed handles routed into the drawer fronts make a great feature and help bring the minimalist look up front.
We want to show everybody that they can be done with common tools in a small woodworking shop.
Feel free to ask if you need more information on a certain step of the process.
The great music is by Ethan Meixsell: ethanmeixsell.com/

Possibly one of the most labour intensive ways to produce the external internal radius I have ever seen. A much faster way would have been to rout an external 45 chamfer, or if you were really tricky you could run a 30 along both external edges, keeping within your scribed markings. You would have very little to remove with a sander then. The internal corners could be very quickly done with radiused mouldings. Very nice end result though.
@workshoptherapy
@workshoptherapy Год назад
It was the fastest for me, for the outside corners, it only took a few minutes. As for the inside, there was a problem fitting the router in there. Doing it before glue up meant that I would have a visible seam, which I didn't want.
@biedawo
@biedawo Год назад
@@workshoptherapy I had a similar reaction, largely because I really dislike sanding MDF and feel an urge to cough even watching it on youtube. But your approach was very successful in getting the smooth radii for the design. (I'd never seen the sanding attachment you were using for the interior radii)

Very interesting video, but one keep tip is that if you use different materials to build the carcass and then you spray it. You may find that if the unit is put in a room with different humidity you will see the plugs as different materials expand at different rates. Trust me on this as I have experienced it on a high gloss cabinet I made.

@@workshoptherapy jigs can be helpful. So, why not? I learned from an old school master carpenter. He could hand plane a deck from a great boat with the surface so even that when he layed a metal ruler on his edge on that deck... not a spec of light would shine through. Very good hand-eye coordination. I see you do the same with that rounding.

@user-nk1xx5uu3s 8 месяцев назад
Very nice design. Let's talk about dust collection, or lack of!!! Please use a respirator when spraying, not just a dust mask. You need something that can protect you against the fine particles from spraying which only a proper respirator can provide. And MDF dust is the most dangerous type of dust (unless one is also allergic to exotic wood). You need a dust extractor hooked up to your chop saw. Keep up the nice designs.

Poate glisierele montate se meritau ceva mai profi, in rest am ramas uimit! Ce pistol ai folosit la vopsit si ce compresor( capacitate butelie si presiune)? Numai bine si la mai multe lucrari, le voi urmari cu interes!

Mulțumesc pentru aprecieri! Voi schimba glisierele, cu siguranță. La momentul respectiv astea au fost cele pe care le-am avut la îndemână. Pistolul este un Stanley cu duză de 2.5 mm. Compresorul este tot Stanley de 50l, cu două pistoane (undeva la 450l aspirați și 200 refulați la 6 bari).

@workshoptherapy
@workshoptherapy Год назад
Thanks for the appreciation! I used water based primer in a thick coat as sealer. I usually spray mdf with sealer until it gets glossy on the edges, applying more coats if necessary. I use paint from an Italian maker, ICA. Being water based, the curing time is pretty short, around half an hour for touch and 24 hours for final hardness

Do you think an orbital sander would work good enough for rounding the corners? Or would it be better to just have a belt sander?
@workshoptherapy
@workshoptherapy Год назад
It would definitely be good enough, maybe even better, but it would take much longer
@biedawo
@biedawo Год назад
belt sander is much more aggressive, which also means easy to remove too much material in a spot if you're not careful. The poster here was using his well.
@keithbailie3014
@keithbailie3014 3 года назад
Great work!! I literally just took some screen captures of a very similar nightstand that I saw for sale. Was trying to figure out how to build it myself with the challenge being the curved corners. The way you did the exterior corners seems doable but getting the inside ones rounded seems tricky - would you do the inside corners the same way if you had to do it again? Also, were those braces you had in there temporarily to clamp the extra wood in the corner tight?
@workshoptherapy
@workshoptherapy 3 года назад
Thanks! I think I would do it the same way. Now that I already did two nightstands, I can do it faster and better. The braces weren't too tight, just to squeeze the extra glue out. Mdf tends to stick very very well with pva glue.
@ibubezi7685
